Illustrated Modes is a practical and visual guide to understanding and applying the Greek modes. Across its 190 pages, it offers a progressive journey: from building a scale note by note, through harmonization and the essential musical theory, to the exploration of fourteen modes, showing how to modulate between them and even create new scales.
With clear and colorful graphics, the book teaches how to organize theory intuitively, making it easier for each reader to continue learning independently. The examples are presented in exclusive animated videos with realistic orchestral sounds, accompanied by step-by-step explanations of why they work. It also includes numerous tasks and practical exercises that invite active experimentation with each concept, as well as a philosophical background that encourages further personal study. The book contains no standard notation: everything is expressed through chord symbols (C, Fm, Bb, etc.), and the compositions are animated, making it accessible and useful for musicians of all levels.
